  • The vehicle comes from the factory connected to the internet.

    You’d have to find the exploit before they do, and it would be hard to replicate because once they find out, the only cars vulnerable to your exploit are ones manufactured before the patch who have been disconnected from the internet (which is like 2 cars).

    It’s theoretically possible but very hard to replicate. And on top of that theres always the risk of the car manufacturer voiding the warranty on your $50k vehicle and/or cozying up to your insurance company and convincing them any damage is a result of you preventing their systems from running as intended.

    It’s a messy high risk low reward game to play. Better option is to just buy a different car if you can.


  • As someone who spends a lot of time searching and is tired of AI slop, tracking, and targeted ads, it’s a breath of fresh air.

    It provides a level of quality and control you don’t get from the Brave/DDGs of the world, and a reliability that’s hard to match with the SearXNGs.

    It took a bit of mental back and forth to get comfortable paying for something that has historically been “free”, but I’m alright with it.

    I’d love to see more FOSS competition (or frankly any competition) out there but hosting a reliable search engine is difficult and expensive.

    It’s cheaper than any of my streaming subscriptions and I use it 10x as much, so I’m good paying the price.
